Now I know why but it is a very complicated problem. :-(

Basically, the culprit was difference between Linux and BSD, mostly 
_thread_id and ptrace(2).  Linux has gettid(2), which returns a 
(32-bit) pid_t type, and it is used for _thread_id.  Linux code 
simply calls ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, ...) with it and it works fine.  
However, BSD does not have gettid(), so we used pthread_t instead.  
Alas, we copied process_get_lwp_regs() from Linux-specific file.  It 
does not work for us because _thread_id is a pthread_t type and 
ptrace() does not understand it.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way 
to map pthread_t to a lwpid_t value, either.  More worse, it gets 
truncated to 32-bit on amd64.  Grrr...
